Never overload your bike. Riding on unsuitable terrain or with excessive load leads to increased wear and can result in component failing. Risk of crashing! K archer AG Pedelecs are exclusively intended for private use. If you intend to use a child seat on the luggage rack, please comply with the maximum permitted total weight on the rack (as specied on the rack) as well as the permitted total weight of the child seat manufacturer. Carefully enclose the spring rings under the saddle to prevent the child’s ngers being trapped. If child trailers or tag-alongs are tted, please ensure that these are tted correctly according to the manufacturer’s operating manual, and that the permitted total weight is taken into account. Only use tested child seats, child trailers and tag-alongs (e.g. DIN/GS-tested) and in all cases make sure that they are assembled correctly as per the manufacturer’s instructions. If in doubt, speak to your local dealer. If the maximum permitted total weight on the rack (as specied on the rack) is less than 27 kg, then the rack is not suitable for mounting a child seat. Special notes for Pedelecs Pedelec applications
- Do not use the Pedelec for competitions.
- Avoid large puddles and do not ride through water. The Pedelec is not designed for this.
- As far as possible avoid riding in extreme weather conditions. Notes on battery and charging unit Drive unit, battery and charging unit are matched and are approved only for use with your Pedelec. Do not use the battery or the charging unit for other systems. Only use approved battery types. Depending on the battery, the charging time is between approx. 5 - 6.5 h. Only allow the unit to charge unattended for a maximum of 1 h, after this check the charging process regularly, and if req. disconnect the charging unit or the battery from the mains. Information on lighting If your Pedelec is tted with a battery-operated light, the battery must always be tted when riding on the road. This will make sure that the lighting system is operational at all times. Information on the total weight The details regarding the permissible total weight of your Pedelec can be found on the rating plate. This can be found on the frame of the Pedelec. If you are in any doubt, please contact your dealer. Information on the manipulation of the electric system The electric system of the pedelec may not be manipulated ot altered in any way. Also bear in mind the possibility that third persons could do so while the pedelec is not under your supervision. Information on the rst ride with electric assistance Familiarise yourself with the Pedelec before the rst ride. Please consider that other trafc users may incorrectly judge your speed. The Pedelec only assists you as long as you pedal, the faster you pedal the faster the Pedelec will go. When a speed of 25 km/h, the assistance switches off automatically. Likewise, during a braking operation (front or rear brake), the assistance is interrupted automatically. Make sure that the start assistance is not activated inadvertently while at standstill e.g. at trafc lights. For this reason, always keep one brake pressed to prevent the motor cutting in inadvertently. Based on experience, it is a good idea to leave the assistance switched off completely for the rst ride, to get used to the handling. Activate the assistance and rst get used to the lowest level of assistance. This can then be increased bit by bit.EN | 7 Introduction & important information
When working on the Pedelec as well as when cleaning, it is always recommended to disconnect the power supply so that the system cannot be switched on inadvertently. Only clean the Pedelec with a damp cloth, do not use a pressure washer or steam cleaner. This could cause inadvertent entry of water into the electronics and result in a short-circuit. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, which could damage the paint or plastic parts. Key data regarding the Pedelec Rated power: 250 Watt Rated voltage: 36V DC Cut-out speed: 25 km/h Empty weight: approx. 25 kg Maximum allowable total weight: 150 kg (unless otherwise specied on the EPAC label) 120 kg (folding bike) The technical data may differ depending on the model and the equipment. The data for your model can be found on the EPAC label, on the frame. The Pedelec has been manufactured according to EN 15194 / EN ISO 4210-2. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver ears is less than 70 dB(A). Safety information Please pay attention to the following safety information. Failure to comply with this can lead to accidents as well as damage to property and personal injury.
- First familiarise yourself with the functions and handling of your new Pedelec away from the public road. Due to its additional weight, the braking distance of the Pedelec is longer than a standard bike. In particular, practice starting, braking and riding around tight corners.
- Always follow the laws and trafc regulations of the relevant country where the Pedelec is being used. In Germany, these regulations are set out in the StVZO (Road Trafc Licensing Act) and StVO (Road Trafc Act).
- According to the StVO, every user of the public roads must ensure that their behaviour does not endanger, damage or excessively inconvenience other road users. For this reason, always ride observantly and carefully. Be considerate to other road users.
- Your Pedelec must only be ridden on public roads if it is equipped with the equipment mandated by national laws in the place of use. According to the StVZO in Germany a Pedelec must be tted with - two independently-functioning brakes, - a clearly audible bell, - a functional front and rear light, - spoke reectors or side strips on the rim or tyre, - pedal reectors, - a white forwards-facing reector (if not integrated into the light), - a red rear-facing reector (wide-area Z-reector).
- In poor weather conditions, such as rain, snow or ice, special care should be taken when riding, or delay riding to a later point in time. The braking performance in particular can be substantially reduced in poor weather conditions.
- In darkness and poor visibility, the lights should always be switched on. Not only will you see better with the lights switched on, but you will also be seen better by other road users.
- We recommend wearing a cycling helmet to reduce the risk of head injuries.
- Wear high-visibility clothing with reective strips to be seen more easily and more quickly by other road users.
- Your Pedelec has rotating and moving parts. Unsuitable clothing, incorrect handling or lack of attention can result in injuries. - legwear should be close-tting. Use cycle clips if req.Introduction & important information 8 | EN - Items of clothing (e.g. scarves, skirts, cords, etc.) should not hang down, since these may become trapped in the spokes. - Shoes should be non-slip and provide adequate foot support.
- The maximum permissible total weight of the Pedelec must not exceed that shown on the rating plate (located on the Pedelec frame). As well as the Pedelec, this maximum permitted weight also includes the rider as well as other loads of any kind (e.g. basket and pannier bags including contents, child set inc. child, trailer including towed load). Excessive load can result in damage and accidents with the risk of injuries.
- Technical modications must only be carried out in accordance with the StVZO and the DIN EN ISO standard shown on the rating plate. This applies for safety-relevant components in particular, such as e.g. frame, forks, handlebars, saddle, seat post, luggage rack, all brake components (especially brake levers and brake pads), lighting systems, cranks, wheels, trailer couplings, tyres and tubes. As is the case with all mechanical components, a Pedelec is subject to wear and high loads. If the design life of a component is exceeded, the component may fail suddenly, possibly causing injury to the rider. Any kind of cracks, scratches or colour changes on highly-stressed areas is a sign that the life of the component has been reached, and that the part should be replaced. If you are unsure in relation to the replacement of components on your Pedelec, especially brake or wheel elements, please contact your specialist bike dealer. Special information According to section 1 of the Road Trafc Licensing Act, every user of the public roads must ensure that their behaviour does not endanger, damage or excessively inconvenience other road users. Pay attention to this during every ride! The national road trafc act regulations of the country where the Pedelec is used apply.
- Based on their design and equipment - with or without suspension systems - Pedelecs with on- road equipment are intended to be use don the public roads and surfaced paths. The necessary safety equipment has been supplied by the manufacturer, and must be regularly checked by the user - and if required, repaired.
- The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for all other types of use, e.g. the failure to comply with safety information in this manual as well as those of the component manufacturers. This applies in particular for: - off-road use of the road bike, - overloading as well - incorrect rectication of defects.

12 | EN rst please make the following adjustments to your Pedelec as per your personal requirements. If you are not condent in doing so, ask for your Pedelec to be assembled and prepared by a qualied technician. Stem/handlebar
1. Undo the clamping screw under the rubber cover of the stem
using a 4 or 5 mm hex key.
2. Align the handlebar so that it is straight.
3. Re-tighten the clamping screws (10 Nm).
4. Check all screws on the stem to make sure that they are tight
2. Align the handlebar so that it is straight.
3. Re-tighten the clamping screws (10 Nm).
4. Then tighten the four screws on the clamp.
Installing pedals When installing pedals, please make sure that you note the marking (L) left and (R) right. The marking applies in the direction of travel. The pedals are always screwed on in a forward direction, and therefore have opposite threads. To prevent corrosion from dirt and water and the resulting grinding noises, we recommend coating the thread with assembly grease. Do not overtighten! Tightening torque: 35 Nm Crank tightening torque: 40 Nm - essential to re-tighten after 50 km! Adjusting the saddle To set the optimum seat height, you should sit on your bike with the heel of one foot positioned on the pedal in the bottom position. Your leg should now be fully extended. To calculate the minimum saddle height, multiply your stride length by 0.885 - this provides the minimum saddle height. The angle of the saddle can be changed by undoing the hex head screw. Please click the saddle into the desired position and re-tighten the hex head screw. It is essential to comply with the minimum insertion depth of the seat post! There is a marking on the seat post which shows the minimum amount of seat post which must be in the seat tube. Failure to comply with the minimum insertion depth can cause the seat post to slip or break! The seat post must also not be shortened. Risk of accident and injury! Gears/brakes Familiarise yourself with the gears and brakes and note any separate instruction manual which may be provided. Further information on the gears can be found in the “Maintenance” chapter. If you are unsure, then prior to the rst ride, practice in an area where this is permitted and there are no hazards.EN | 13 Assembly information / before the rst ride
By squeezing the left brake lever, you slow the front wheel, with the right brake lever the rear wheel. For bikes with a back-pedal brake, you can also slow the back wheel by “pedalling backwards”. Always brake evenly and where possible at the same time with both back and front brake. Note that the braking distance on wet or slippery surfaces (dirt on the roads, sand, leaves etc.) with be substantially increased. Lighting Satisfy yourself that the lighting is in perfect condition. Bike with wireless lighting: Front and rear lights must be switched on separately. The front light has an integrated battery, which can be charged using a Micro-USB cable charging cable not in scope of supply). The rear light is operated with normal AA/LR6 batteries. Bike lighting with cable, operated via bike battery: When doing so, the lighting is switched on and off using the control unit. For this see the section “Pedelec components - control unit”. Tightness of all screws Please check that all screws are tight. The bikes are mainly assembled by hand, checked at the end of assembly, and only then packed for transport. Independent of this, please check one more time to make sure that everything is OK, before you climb on and ride off. Before each ride, please check that your bike is in functional condition, paying special attention to safety-relevant components such as brakes, lights, gears and the secure mounting of all screws. A bike is a mode of transport which is exposed to special environmental factors such as rain, cold and also unsurfaced roads during operation. During operation, components may become loose and their function may be impaired. As the rider of the bike, you are responsible for the proper condition. For the sake of your safety and the value of the bike, please make sure the bike remains in perfect condition. Folding frame For a Pedelec with a folding frame (“folding bike”), there are a few special points which must be noted:
- Before each journey, make sure that the folding mechanism lever is fully closed and engaged if req., so that the frame cannot fold. Risk of accidents!
- when folding and unfolding the frame, make sure that no cables or other items are caught between the frame parts. Risk of accidents!Pedelec components 14 | EN A Pedelec is a bike which, in addition to all standard bike features, is also equipped with an electric assist system. This system comprises the following components:
- Brake lever with emergency switch-off The function of the electrical system is to assist the rider of the bike to increase their personal range. A Pedelec is a system which exclusively provides assistance, and with the exception of any starting assistance at up to 6 km/h (walking pace), only provides assistance if you pedal. If the starting assist system is installed, if you are born after 01.04.1965, you must at least possess a moped licence or higher, such as e.g. a car or motorcycle licence. Due to the fact that they only provide assistance up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h, Pedelecs are not required to be registered or insured. Please always keep in mind that the achievable range of a Pedelec always depends on you as the rider to a great extent. As well as environmental factors, such as terrain prole, wind conditions or temperature, as the rider you are the deciding factor. One the one hand, the weight to be moved has a signicant inuence, on the other the force which you can provide is also decisive. Because our Pedelecs are tted with a pedal rate sensor, the system only measures the pedalling frequency not the force with which you pedal. Thus, the level of assist from the system can only be inuenced via the ECO-mode. Depending on the design, you have up to 6 stages of control. The greater the assistance from the system becomes, the lower the range which can be achieved. The variance for this is from less than 20 km to up to approx. 100 km. Less than 20 km will be achieved if you only “pedal along” with the system, by engaging rst gear and allowing yourself to be almost completely “pulled” by the system. If you ride in a sporty manner in a high gear at a speed of more than 25 km/h, the system will only assist you when starting, and will then completely switch off the assistance from 25 km/h upwards. This means the range is theoretically unlimited and only determined by the self-discharge of the battery within 3 months. We provide such a detailed explanation of this point to ensure that it is clear to you that indications of range can only ever be approximate for a certain set of conditions. Therefore consider the Pedelec as a “training device” with the aim of improving your tness to require the least possible assistance from the electrical system.EN | 15 Pedelec components

A lower range is not an indication of a defective batteryPedelec components - battery 16 | EN Safety information Please make sure you comply with the safety notices below. Failure to comply can lead to the risk of short-circuiting, re and explosions as well as injuries.
- Only use the battery and charging unit supplied specically for this Pedelec.
- Regularly check the battery for any damage. A battery with a damaged housing must not be used any more. Replace the battery.
- Keep the battery away from re and heat. Never place the battery in the microwave.
- Keep the battery away from water and moisture. Never clean it using a pressure washer or other water spray.
- Keep all metal objects (e.g. nails, screws, metallic debris) away from the contacts of the battery and charging unit.
- Avoid short-circuiting the battery.
- Do not expose the battery to sharp shocks or prolonged vibration.
- Never open or repair the battery. If the battery is damaged, replace it instead. For this, always use original accessories and spare parts from the manufacturer.
- When transporting the Pedelec (e.g. car-mounted bike carrier) always remove the battery. During transport, do not expose the battery to sharp shocks or prolonged vibration. always make sure it is stored safely. Maintenance and use of the battery The battery used is a latest generation lithium-ion battery. This no longer has a memory effect, as was the case just a few years ago with NiCd cells. This means you no longer need to fully discharge the battery prior to charging, and you can recharge the battery at any time irrespective of the charge level without incurring a loss of charging capacity. After every ride, the battery should be charged until the charging unit switches off. Make sure that if the drive is not in use (also during breaks) the system is switched off. Otherwise the battery undergoes a deep discharge. This can lead to damage to the battery! The battery is subject to a certain self-discharge. To ensure that the ll capacity is available for your ride, you should recharge the battery before starting your journey, irrespective of the charge level displayed. You will signicantly maintain the longevity of your battery by always making sure that the battery does not self-discharge. This means that during the winter months, the battery should be recharged once in a while, ideally in a cycle of 6-8 weeks. Never store the battery in a room which is exposed to large temperature uctuations and below-zero temperatures. Your battery will be protected best if you store it at room temperature. The battery should never be stored fully discharged! Please note that the battery is one of the most high-tech and valuable parts of the Pedelec, for your own benet it is important to look after it. When removing and inserting the battery, the electrical system/the motor must be switched off.EN | 17 Pedelec components - battery

Problem Possible remedy Clicking / grinding in bottom bracket area Check the pedal threads; check the centre screw of the crank arm on the bottom bracket bearing (40Nm). Lubricate the motor guide spigot which projects into the frame (cutout frame/ guide spigot). This is located on the bottom of the bottom bracket. Turn the bike upside down. Lighting not working Check the connection and contact of the cable plug connections on the front light, rear light and on the dynamo and if req. replace with new plug, check lights and if req. replace Check side-running dynamo: Contact with the tyre OK? If req. Replace tyre if the running surface is worn out. If req. Fit dynamo with replacement friction roller. Brakes squeak/ not powerful enough Check the pad thickness of the brake pads, and replace if req. Check the position of the brake pads to the rim, set V-position (see maintenance). Gears not changing correctly Especially with derailleur systems, the cables stretch a little with use. Adjust using the ne adjusters directly on the brake lever, by unscrewing approx. 2 turns. This increases the tension again. (Also see maintenance) Gears (Shimano Nexus 7-speed) making noises The adjustment is done using the knurled nut in front of the clickbox on the rear hub.
- Shift to fourth gear.
- The yellow-marked settings of the gearshift unit bracket and the roller must be aligned with eachother, otherwise annoying noises may be heard during riding or shifting problems may occur. Being aligned means that the markings match up. Possibly you may also need to push your chain guard a little to the side, to be able to see both lines better. Alternatively you can also look from below past the chain.
- If the adjusting lines do not match up please proceed as follows: On the gearshift turn the tension adjuster screw (black) to match up the setting lines correctly. Then shift from fourth to rst gear and then back to fourth gear, and then check the position of the adjustment lines once more.
- Carry out a shift-intensive test ride. Incorrect setting Correct settingSelf-help tips 28 | EN Electric drive not cutting in Please check whether the pedal frequency sensor in the bottom bracket still has a spacing of max 3 mm from the magnetic disc.

Risk of shock and short-circuit! Electrical hazards are present during care, maintenance and repair works.
- Unlock and remove the battery from the Pedelec.
- Disconnect the charging unit from the mains.
- New clean the components with running water or other liquids.
- Never use pressure washers or water jets. Cleaning & care Regular care means that your Pedelec will remain safe and reliable.
- Keep all electrical drive components clean.
- Clean the components with a lightly moistened cloth.
- Always use a mild detergent and never use solvent-based or other aggressive cleaning agents.
- When cleaning, pay attention to the electrical connections. Check whether all cables, connections and contacts are clean and free of damage (visual inspection).
- Prevent moisture or dirt entering the contacts. Caring for the drive unit The drive unit is maintenance-free. Care for the housing and connections as described above. In case of problems please contact your specialist dealer. Storage When storing your Pedelec, please apply a preservative in the form of a suitable care product, so that corrosion is prevented as far as possible before it occurs. Make sure that rubber brake components and tyres do not come into contact with oil. Please make sure you remove the battery and ensure that this is stored at room temperature. Furthermore, completely charge all batteries every 2 months, to keep them in optimum condition.Maintenance 30 | EN
- All repairs and maintenance work should only be carried out by a qualied specialist.
- Unlock and remove the battery from the Pedelec.
- Disconnect the charging unit from the mains. Quick release clamps For fast adjustment or assembly and dismantling most bikes/Pedelecs are tted with quick release clamps. All quick release clamps must be check for tightness before every use of the bike/Pedelec. Quick release clamps should be operated with great care, since your safety directly depends on this. Make sure you use the quick release clamps correctly to avoid accidents. The quick release clamp essentially consists of two elements:
1. Lever on one side of the hub: It converts the closing motion to clamping force via a cam.
2. The clamping nut on the opposite side of the hub: This is used to set the pre-tension on a
threaded bar (quick release axle). Open the quick release clamp. Ensure that the component to be clamped is positioned correctly. Move the lever towards the clamping position so that “close” can be read from outside. From the start of the closing movement up to half the stroke the lever must be very easy to move. After this, the force on the lever should increase signicantly and the lever should only move with difculty at the end. Use the ball of your thumb and brace the ngers against a solid component, however not the brake disc or a spoke. In the nal position, the lever should be at a right angle to the quick release axle. I.e. under no circumstances should it project outwards. The lever should lie along the fork or the frame so that it cannot open inadvertently. It should also be east to reach however, so that it can indeed be operated quickly. Check for rm seating by pressing the end of the closed lever and attempting to turn it. If it moves, you must open it and increase the pre-tension. Turn the clamping nut on the opposite side clockwise half a turn. Close the quick release clamp and check the tightness once more. Frame The frame of your bike is coated with a high-quality paint system, which enables particular brightness of the colours due to wet-coating, and by sealing with a plastic-based clear powder coating layer provides excellent impact-resistance. Depending on the model, the frame number can be found either on the steering head or on the underside of the bottom bracket. Please care for the frame as well as all ttings with a standard commercial bicycle care oil as per the instructions from the oil manufacturer. Always consider that environmental factors expose your bike to special loading. In particular air containing salt or ammonia require more regular care and protection of the paint and all ttings.EN | 31 Maintenance
Forks Depending on the desig, your bike is tted with one of the following forks: Rigid Unicrown fork Suspension forks with elastomer/spring damping Adjustable suspension forks with lock-out and adjustment Suspension seat post Adjusting nut Circlip If a suspension seat post is tted to your bike, the spring comfort can be set using the adjusting nut. For harder suspension turn the nut to the right, for softer suspension to the left. Please ensure in all cases that the complete thread of the adjusting nut remains in the suspension seat post. This is secured against turning out completely using a circlip. If you remove the circlip and completely unscrew the adjusting nut, open the post and you have full access to the spring, which is not required under normal circumstances.Maintenance 32 | EN Brakes Depending on the design and equipment of the bike we use the following types of brakes: Hand brakes: Adjusting screw Screw An adjusting screw is located on the brake lever to allow ne adjustment of the brake cable tension. With normal muscle-powered bikes, there is a screw for adjusting the zero position of the lever. This adjustment is provided to adjust the lever if you have especially small hands. This means you always have safe access to the brakes. To adjust, undo the brake cable on the brake unit, screw in the zero point screw further until the desired position is reached, then x the brake cable to the brake unit once more. Make sure that the brake lever has spare travel - when the brakes are fully on, the lever must not contact the handlebar grip. For Pedelecs we usually use brake levers with a switch which immediately cuts the electric assist when the brake lever is operated. Brakes are critical components. Check the brakes before every ride and if worn only use components of the same type and quality. If in doubt always consult a specialist bicycle dealer! Safe use of brakes is an important part of your safety when riding. For this reason, it is essential to become familiar with the brakes of your E-Bike before your rst ride. Risk of accidents! Before every ride check your brakes for correct function. Incorrectly set or poorly repaired brakes can result in reduced braking power or complete brake failure. Risk of accidents! The braking performance depends on many factors. It may be signicantly reduced e.g. due to ground conditions (gravel roads, chippings etc.), addiitonal loading, downhill riding or adverse weather conditions. On wet surfaces the braking distance may be around approx. 60% longer than on a dry surface. For this reason, adjust your riding accordingly. Ride more slowly and with special care. Risk of accidents! Avoid sudden and heavy braking to prevent possible slipping or locking of the wheels. Risk of accidents! Replacing the brake shoes In order to access the brake pads, the brake arms must rst be unclipped. With V-brakes to do this, the tops of the brake arms are pushed together. This reduces the tension on the Bowden cable and it can be released from the cross-piece of the brake. The Bowden cable now hangs on one brake arm and the other brake is open. It works similarly with cantilever brakes: The cross-pull, which usually leads to the left brake arm must be released from the suspension point. In this case again the two upper brake arms need to be pushed together to remove the tension from the Bowden cable. The brake is now open. With V-brakes and cantilever brakes the open brake now allows access to the brake shoes which are attached to the brake arms with hex screws. The screws can be undone with a normal hex key. With many brakes, various washers allow alignment with the wheel rim. In order to be able to reassemble the brake perfectly again, it is important to note the sequence of the different washers.EN | 33 Maintenance
With disc brakes, the brake pads are removed by turning the hex head screw which holds them in the brake caliper. These can then be pulled out. Only use original manufacturer’s spare parts. If in doubt contact your local specialist dealer. The brake shoes with new pads are then inserted into the brake arm. Make sure that the washers are installed in the correct sequence. Then tighten the screw so that the brake shoe is seated securely but can still be moved slightly. After this, the brake is reattached for alignment. When doing so bear in mind:
- When braking, both pads should contact the wheel. Here, the front part of the brake pad should contact the rim rst to prevent squealing during braking and to optimise the braking performance.
- The perfect distance between brake pad and rim is 1.5 to 2 mm.
- The brake pads should not touch the tyres, since this will damage the tyres. With disc brakes, the brake pads must be pressed together and in this position must t exactly into the brake caliper. These are then xed again using the hex screw via brake cable Here the force is transmitted from the lever to the disc via a conventional brake cable. Depending on the brake use, the brake pads are designed for a long service life. Since these are always type-specic however, please order your spares using the article number of the bike you purchased. Work on brakes should be carried out by a specialist. Incorrect assembly can lead to brake failure. Risk of crashing! via hydraulic cable Here the force is transferred via a closed system using brake uid. The brake lever is tted with a supply tank from which brake uid is pushed to the brake cylinder by pressing on the lever.Maintenance 34 | EN The brake disc is tted on the wheel hub, and creates the braking forces. Due to the density of the uid, force losses in this system are substantially lower than with a cable system. Back-pedal brake Depending on the design, the back-pedal brake is integrated into the gear hub and is simply activated by pedalling backwards. Due to the fact that it is not affected by weather this type of brake is very efcient. Wheels When manufacturing our wheels, we normally use aluminium rims, depending on the design, box- or double-wall hollow chamber rims, galvanised or stainless spokes, aluminium-/steel freewheel hubs, branded back-pedal brakes, branded Pedelec motors, tyres with an appropriate prole, reective ring/ spoke reectors. If you require replacement tyres, please ensure that the correct tyre size is used. This is printed on the side of the tyre and has the following meaning: 28“ x 1.75 (traditional imperial size) is equivalent to 47-622 (47 is the tyre width in mm, 622 is the tyre diameter in mm) If your Pedelec is tted with a tyre with a reective sidewall, please use the same type since 2 additional spoke reectors would be required per wheel to gain StVZO approval. When inating, ensure that the maximum pressure printed on the side of the tyre is never exceeded. The different valves require different adapters for one air pump. Car valve Dunlop valve Presta valve If you need to remove the wheel, e.g. to change the tyre or tube, rst undo the axle nuts. Then press the V-brake arms together by hand so that you can unclip the brake cable out of the holder on the right brake arm. Then you can remove the wheel. After changing the tyre, please reassemble in the opposite order. Note the tightening torques below.EN | 35 Maintenance
Gears In terms of gears, there is a fundamental distinction between 2 different systems, derailleur gears and hub gears. Depending on the version, a hub gear can be combined with a back-pedal brake. A derailleur gear is always without back-pedal brake. Derailleur gears You can recognise a derailleur gear by the sprocket on the back wheel (cogs) with 5-10 gearwheel, and a rear derailleur mechanism, and at the front a chain ring with 1-3 rings and a front derailleur. Chain wheels on the cranks (the larger the chain wheel the greater the resistance), sprocket on the rear wheel (the smaller the cog, the greater the resistance). Increased resistance allows an increased top speed. Make sure you select the right gear for starting off or for hills. Rear cog Rear derailleur Front chain ring with derailleur You can work out the number of gears on your bike by multiplying the number of front chain rings by the number of rear cogs, for example 21 gears. To protect your chain and gears, the chain should not run in an excessively diagonal position. This increases the wear. The combinations which should not be used do not represent a loss of function, since they are really theoretical. Function and operation A derailleur always functions according to the following principle: Large chain ring at the front = harder gear, larger ratio Small chain ring at the front = easy gear, smaller ratio Large sprocket on the rear = easy gear, smaller ratio small cog at the back = harder gear, larger ratio The gear shifters are usually tted as follows: Right shifter: rear cog Left shifter: Front chain rings The chain is poorly positioned if it is on the smallest chain ring at the front while at the same time being on one of the three outer (smallest) cogs at the back, or if it is on the largest chain ring at the front and on the inner (largest) cogs of the rear wheel.Maintenance 36 | EN The bottom bracket is the interface between the cranks and the frame. Different designs exist - sometimes the shaft with bearings is part of the bottom bracket, sometimes it is integrated into the right hand crank. The sealed ball bearings are factory-sealed and -adjusted to have no play. The rm seating of the bottom bracket in the frame must be checked regularly. Also check regularly that the cranks are xed rmly to the bottom bracket axle or whether the bearings have play. If you wobble the cranks hard, no play should be felt. If this is the case, consult your specialist dealer immediately. Depending on the system installed, a gear change process begins with operating a shift lever on a brake-gearshift unit or by a small turn of the wrist for a grip-shift switch. It is important to keep pedalling during the complete gear change process. The pedalling force should be reduced somewhat however. An important point and reason for tting a derailleur gear system with a higher number of gears is generally the grater range, i.e. the more gears, the easier the rst gear will be and the higher the top speed in the highest gear.

Since the derailleur system is a highly complex external system, we urgently recommend cleaning and treating it with a chain lubricant on a weekly basis. A derailleur system can become poorly adjusted very quickly in particular due to cables stretching. Readjusting however is very simple and can be done using 2 stop screws and a knurled nut. Adjustments can only be made if you keep the system moving while shifting. An important pre-requisite is that both the rear mechanism and also the front mechanism must move freely. Proceed as follows: Then check that the front gear shift mechanism moves freely. To do so place the rear gear mechanism in a central position (for example cog no. 4), turn the cranks and shift the left gear lever through the positions 1-2-3. Knurled nut for ne adjustment Position 1 = chain ring 1 Position 2 = chain ring 2 Position 3 = chain ring 3 If the chain cannot be moved to all 3 chain rings, the corresponding stop screw must be screwed further out. If the chain overshoots, the corresponding screw must be screwed further in. Stop screw “High” = for large chain ring Stop screw “Low” = for small chain ring To check for free movement place the shift lever in position 1 and press the derailleur mechanism into position 3 with your thumb, whilst turning the cranks. If the alignment is then not correct, move the knurled nut on the shift lever to the right to move the mechanism further towards the small chain ring 1, and to the left to move the mechanism further in the direction of the large chain ring 3. Then shift the lever to position 2 so that the chain runs on the centre chain ring at the front, therefore allowing easy adjustment of the rear gears. Carry out the adjustment of the rear mechanism as follows: Then check that the gear shift moves freely. To do so, move the grip-shift to the smallest cog, which is also the highest gear. Then try to press in the mechanism by hand whilst turning the cranks until the chain runs onto the largest cog no. 1. If this does not work, you need to undo the stop screws. If the chain “overshoots”, i.e. jumps off the cog, the corresponding screw must be screwed in further.Maintenance 38 | EN Stop screw “H” for smallest sprocket Stop screw “L” for largest sprocket Knurled nut for ne adjustment Once free movement is established, the ne adjustments can be made. To do so, shift to 1
gear (i.e. the largest cog on the sprocket) and the turn the grip-shift to position 2 for the 2
gear. If the chain then does not jump onto the 2
sprocket, turn the knurled nut ½ to 1 turns to the right, i.e. in. Then select 1
gear once more. Then repeat the gear change on the 2
gear. If the chain now slides to the 2
sprocket, continue with the 3
up to the last gears in the same way. Then change back from the last gear, gear by gear to the 1
gear. If req. you may need to turn the knurled nut back to the left a little once more. It is important that you proceed gear by gear, thus setting the optimum position of the knurled nut. The settings for other grip-shifts should be done analogously. Irrespective whether Rapid Fire lever, thumb-shifters or grip-shifts, the principle for adjustment is always the same in principle. Hub gears Hub gears are fundamentally different in design to derailleur systems, and the maintenance requirements as well as adjustment potential are substantially less. A specic manufacturer’s description is available for every hub gear system, but in principle only the position display on the grip-shift needs to be matched to the position in the hub. For this, a gear is marked on the grip-shift, e.g. 4
gear. At the back on the hub where the cable enters, there is also a mark which needs to match. Examples: SRAM S7 speed hub gear: The adjustment is done using the knurled nut in front of the clickbox on the rear hub.EN | 39 Maintenance
gear Lighting system We make a fundamental distinction between 3 types of bikes with respect to the lighting systems. Bikes without lights Bikes without lights are not suitable for use on the public roads. The bike must not be used in the StVZO area. Bikes with lights The bikes are equipped with StVZO-compliant lights. The lights have a minimum brightness of 10 Lux, the dynamo provides 6 Volts and 3 Watts. The rear light is generally tted with an automatic stationary lighting system, with versions either using a capacitor or a battery. The battery version has the advantage that the stationary light function is already available following the rst short period of power supply from the dynamo. The rear stationary light is then illuminated for approx. 4 minutes, so that for example the rider is always seen immediately by road users from behind at trafc lights. The battery must be replaced however once it no longer has sufcient voltage. This is shown by an indicator light. The capacitor version charges during riding, and after a distance of approx. 2-3 km also illuminates for approx. 4 minutes. The required reectors are also mounted on the bike (also see legal requirements) Bar / mudguard rear light Luggage rack rear light Front light with hub dynamo The modern hub dynamo provides the power source. It is not sensitive to weather, virtually wear-free and low maintenance.Maintenance 40 | EN The lighting system is activated easily by a central switch on the rear of the front light. Chain & chain tension To test the chain tension, your specialist dealer will have precise measurement equipment. The replacement of the chain should be done by a specialist, since it requires special tools and a chain must be selected which ts to the relevant gear system. To tension the chain, undo the quick release clamp on the rear wheel and then pull the wheel backwards slightly until the optimum chain tension is achieved. When tensioned optimally, the chain should sag by around half a centimetre. It must be possible to press it approx. 3 cm upwards or downwards easily. After centering the wheel, retighten the quick release clamp once more. Side stand (luggage support) The side stand is provided to prevent the Pedelec falling over when parked. Make sure that the Pedelec stands in a stable position. Stable ground is essential for this (e.g. asphalt). When parking the bike on soft surfaces (gravel, grass) the bike will not have a rm base. Tightening torques Please make sure that the screws on the bike are tightened with the following torques before you ride: Component Screw connection Torque Axle nuts Front wheel cap nuts 20 Nm Rear wheel cap nuts 25 Nm Crank Fixing screws 30 Nm Brake block Nuts 5 Nm Dynamo mount Nuts 10 Nm Other screws M4 2.1 Nm M5 4.2 Nm M6 7.3 Nm M8 17 Nm M10 34 NmEN | 41 Maintenance
In order to maintain its value, we strongly recommend you care and maintain your Pedelec, and ensure that worn or defective components are replaced immediately. If req. any repairs will be identied as part of an inspection. For this reason, arrange for it to be carried out by a specialist. Please use the inspection proof section in this handbook to record proof of caring for the bike, and have this conrmed by a specialist dealer.
